Vintage 1950's Vernon Kilns Souvenir Collector Plate, Historic SACRAMENTO, CaliforniaWe are pleased to offer from our personal collection this vintage Vernon Kilns Souvenir collector plate of the Historic city of SACRAMENTO, California. Eight historic sites are pictured on the plate starting with the State Capitol Building, Fort Sutter, William Land Park, Tower Bridge, Southern Pacific Station, Crocker Art Gallery, State Office Building and Steamer Chrysopolis. Bordering... all the sites are gold mining tools from the Gold Rush days including pick and axes, gold pans, box sifters and gold nuggets. Sacramento is my birthplace and lifetime home. When I stumbled onto this plate at a local Antique and Collector's Fair over 20 years ago, I immediately had to have it. The seller was from Oregon, so it was probably purchased by a visitor back when they made these plates, purchased and brought there as a souvenir of the trip. It returned to its hometown thanks to this dealer! The graphics are very well done and the condition is excellent! Only some very minor surface wear to note, but nothing distracting. The plate is marked on the backside: "By Vernon Kilns U.S.A." We are in the process of making changes in our home and need to find this item a new home!
